Bug ID: 509466
Summary: Unchecking "Turning off split view closes the view in
focus", breaks other functionality after restart
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First 25.08.0
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: split view
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
Reporter: ulterno at gmail.com
CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When the option "Turning off split view closes the view in focus" is turned off
(i.e. now turning off split view closes the view not in focus), other actions
that would depend upon selecting one of the views, start having a problem after
restarting Dolphin.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure Dolphin -> Interface -> Folders & Tabs -> Split view: -> Turning
off split view closes the view in focus --> Uncheck the check box
2. Open a split view and check usage of other actions**
3. Close Dolphin and open again, restoring the previously open tabs, then
again, check usage of other actions**
** other actions that I tried:
- F5 to refresh
- Go back
- Go forwards
- Go up
OBSERVED RESULT
- On step 2, the other actions work just fine, same as when the 'option' has
not been unchecked
- On step 3, the other actions start acting on the wrong view
- Left view selected -> F5 -> Right-side view gets refreshed -> Still, Left
view remains selected
- Left view selected -> Go back/Go forwards/Go up -> the action works on the
Right-side view -> Right side view becomes selected -> Go back/Go forwards/Go
up (without clicking anywhere else that might change the selected view) -> the
next action works on the Left-side view -> Left side view becomes selected
EXPECTED RESULT
The other actions** work on the selected view, instead of the non-selected one.
